Retina doc says the retina is holding just fine and should not be pulling any funny business on me anymore. There's still another pitifully nearsighted eye, though, so I am going for a checkup in 4 months.

So, today, I uploaded the Winter Gazette issue's links, and am working on the aran cardigan's collar and front bands.

I wish I could splurge, but can't, especially as I need to find out how much the new contact is gonna set me back, and I need a new cap, been needing it for a year, to replace one that's about 12 years old, but I saw a Blue and White G3 400 online with tons of ram, 13 gig HD, internal zip and DVD drive with the matching 17" B/W monitor - cheap, only $300. This old crusty desktop really could use a replacement, and tho this Wallstreet is a G3, it's just a 266 and only has a 4 gig HD. It's not even worth selling the old desktop - they're not worth much more than $25 these days. It's a donator. I do have a B/W HP laser printer to unload and the HP 1120C inkjet, but they're not worth much either - certainly not the time it would take to put them up for auction, then deal with the emails and then shipping the things. I'll need a warehouse soon, though, if I don't start unloading some of this equipment!

Maybe the new year will allow for me to get caught up with expenses I'm still reeling from and the ones I absolutely need to yet incur, *then* I can get some new equipment. One can only hope!
